Additional Information:

Panel of tests to investigate iron deficiency or overload including: 

  • Iron
  • Ferritin – iron storage protein 
  • Transferrin – iron binding protein
  • Transferrin saturation – calculated based on iron and transferrin concentrations
  • Soluble transferrin receptor (STFR) – transferrin receptor is responsible for cellular uptake of iron

Tests performed depend on the reason for request.
